Butternut Squash Noodles with Brussels Sprouts & Bacon

One of the my favorite kitchen tools is the spiralizer. You can instantly make any meal healthier by substituting hearty vegetables for pastas, and you don't lose out on the flavor. Rob and I make a spiralized dish at least once a week. Our favorites include my butternut squash noodle recipe and my zucchini noodle bolognese sauce. I've always loved the Brussels sprouts and bacon combination and knew the butternut squash noodles would add a completely new savory element.

Prep Time: 20 minutes Cook Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients:

1 butternut squash

1 bag of Brussels sprouts

5 pieces of thick-cut bacon

3 tbsp olive oil (can also use 1 tbsp butter or ghee)

6 sage leaves

A splash of white wine

2 garlic cloves

1/2 lemon

Salt & Pepper to taste

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Cut off the top and bulbous end of the butternut squash (this is the part with seeds) so you are only left with the narrow middle part.
